Workshop – Lapidary 101 9/14/25 9am-12pm at CCRMC Lapidary Shop

Get to know the equipment at the club’s lapidary workshop. Use a trim saw to cut the outline for a cabochon. Shape the stone on the grinding wheels and use the Expando wheels to polish it. Use the arbor with a leather wheel to get a high polish. Go home with a cabochon you can use for a pendant.

Safety Notes: Please wear closed-toe shoes. Long hair should be tied back away from your face. No open-toe shoes. Refrain from wearing long dangling jewelry and loose long sleeves.

Don’t bring your own stone(s), save that until you know the equipment.

The workshop is limited to 4 members, so we recommend early registration.
